RDIATOR CORE.

APPucATroN man AUG.13. iazu.

Patented Oct. 25, 1921*.

ing strip or member is provided with integral air defiecting tongues orportions 9 preferably of triangular shape formed by cutting the metalot' the strip or member and bent laterally alternately on opposite sidesof the said strip or member and extending toward the front of theradiator whereby the air is alternately7 directed through the openingsl0 to opposite sides of the air splitting member and is caused toimpinge alternately against opposite sides of the interior of thetriangular cell thereby forming an efficient cooling system for reducingthe temperature ot' the water passing through the radiator. The openingsl0 are formed by the cutting ot the tongues and the flanges 8 may extendto either or both sides of the cells. The core may be of any desiredsize and may contain any number of cells which may be of any desiredvlength and any suitable number ol" air deecting tonguesv or portionsmay be provided. The bell or flared ends besides separating the bodyportions of the cells form enlarged airreceiving terminals forcollecting and forcing the air through the cells of the core. rThetriangular cells are arranged with their sides vertical and inclined asshown so as to produce a free positive gravity feed of' the water fromthe top to the bottom of the core and laterally of' the latter 'forspreading the water and' thoroughly sulijct-ziing the same to thecooling action of the core.

It the use of the machine in which the radiator is employed will notpermit of interruption long enough to make repair, the radiator may beused continuously without interruption by simply plugging the leaky cellat opposite ends. presents an ornamental appearance when viewed fromeither front or rear.

lVhat is claimed is:

l. A radiator core including horizontal triangular cellsconnected attheir ends and having their body portions spaced apart to formintervening circulating spaces. sai-:l triangular cells' each haring oneol their sides arranged vertically and their other sides at aninclination to `form only vertical and inclined intervening watercirculating spaces to produce a positive gravity flow of the water fromthe top to the bottom of the radiator throughout the entire waterspaces.

2. A radiator core including' horizontal triangular cells connected attheir ends and having their' body portions spared apart to formintervening water circulating spaces and air splitting devices arrangedcentrally of the cells and extending longitudinally thereof, each airsplitting device having one.

of itslongitudinal edges fitted in the angle Thel radiator core 1,seinem of its cell and thereby maintained centrally of the same, saidair splitting devices being provided with openings and having meansthereat for defiecting the air through the openings to cause the same toimpinge alternately against the opposite sides of the cells.

3. A radiator core including horizontal triangular cells connected attheir ends and having their body portions spaced apart to formintervening water circulating spaces and centrally arranged airsplitting strips or members extending longitudinally of the cells andeach fitted at oneedge in one of the angles of a cell and provided atthe opposite side of the cell with a flange fit-ted against the saidside, said air splitting strips or members being provided at intervalswith openings and having deflect-ing means arranged at the openings forcausing the air to impinge alternately at opposite sides of the cells.

4. A radiator core including horizontal triangular cells connected attheir ends and having their body portions spaced apart to `formintervening water circulating spaces and centrallyarranged air splittingstri )s or members extending longitudinally of the cells and each havingone of its longitudinal edges fitted in one of the angles of a cell andextending to the center of the opposite side of the cell and providedthereat with a laterally extending projecting flange extendingto theside of the cell and adapted to be attached to the latter. said airsplitting members or strips being provided at intervals with openingsand having air deflecting tongues thereat.

5. A' radiator core comprising horizontal triangular cells provided withflared or bell ends fitted together and spacing the body portions of thecells to form intervening water circulating spaces said cells havingtheir sides arranged vertically and at an inclination to produce apositve downward and lateral flow of the waterhy gravity Vfrom the top'to the bottoni'of the radiator core, and central longitudinal airsplitting strips or members arranged within the cells and fitted at oneof the longitudinal edges in an angle of' the cells and extending to thecenter of the opposite side of the cell and provided threat with alongitudinal fiange eX- tending laterally to one side of the cell saidstrips or members being provided at intervals with openings and havingintegral air deflecting tongues located at the openings and extendingupwardly at opposite sides of the strips or members to cause the air toimpinge alternately against opposite sides of the cells.

In testimony whereof l affix my signature.
